This book is a treasure trove of open roads, wind in your hair, and all of the thingummies and doodads that comprise the most beautiful classic sports cars. Page after page of vintage roadsters come alive with crisp illustrations alongside a joyful rhyming story about fettlers-those particular mechanics who know the difference between a doohickey and a whatsit, a widget and a thingamabob. The fettler's welcome all manner of old automobiles into their shop, and they fettle about until the rustbuckets become purring classics. The simple rhyming story is aimed at the not-yet-old-enough-to-drive set, but those who've been around the block a few times in a peppy little motor car will appreciate the array of vintage vehicles on display at every turn of the page.
